Messagerie problem solved

[Chico]

Having said elsewhere that my experience of speaking to France Telecom personnel has been daunting I thought I should share the benefit of such a conversation that did go well.

 

The France Telecom free answerphone service is great, but when I was around the house I could never reach the phone quickly enough to take a call before it switched to "la messagerie".

 

Here's how to change the length of time the phone rings before switching to answerphone.   The maximum is 40 seconds and I have used that in the example.  If, for example, you want 30 seconds (which is what I have chosen) just input 30.  You can change the setting any time you like, as often as you like.

 

Lift the handset and input the following

 

      a.   * (the star button)

      b.   610

      c.   *

      d.   40 (or whatever)

      e.   #

 

Replace the handset.

 

 

Bonne chance.
